## Administrator privileges and installation requirements

Installing Docker Desktop requires administrator privileges. However, once installed, it can be used without administrative access. Some actions, though, still need elevated permissions. For details, see [Understand permission requirements for Windows](./windows-permission-requirements.md).

Note down if Docker Desktop will be used by non-administrator users. If so, consider using the `--always-run-service` installer flag. This will prevent the `com.docker.service` service from prompting non-administrator users with a User Account Control (UAC) elevation prompt when using Docker Desktop. See [Installer Flags](#installer-flags) for more details.

If your users do not have administrator rights and plan to perform operations that require elevated privileges, be sure to install Docker Desktop using the `--always-run-service installer flag`. This ensures those actions can still be executed without prompting for UAC elevation. See [Installer Flags](#installer-flags) for more details.
